Boos, City Manager bject: Police Chief Appointment At the time I took office as City Manager of Fort Collins September 1, 1963, one f my most important responsibilities was that of appointing a permanent Chief of Police. ednesday, September 4th, a general meeting was held with members of the Police Department nd in the next few days individual interviews were held with members of the Police Departme o become acquainted with the menin the Department and gain some idea of the status and ne f the Department. 168 • " At the outset I would like to report that on the basis of the individual inter- views, I an generally very favorably impzessed with the present Personnel of the Department. The most important needs of the Department as reflected by the interviews were professional leadership and extensive training. It is my considered opinion that;gth proper leadership and training the Department will rapidly achieve a high degree of excellence. The first week in September acting Police Chief C. T. Howe and I discussed the status of the Department, and he expressed the opinion that inthe best interest of the De- partment and the City, a professionally qualified Chief should be appointed. He suggested that such an appointment be made and declined to be considered. I would like to personally commend Chief Howe for his attitude towards the Department and the job that he has done as acting Chief and announce his appointment as Assistant Police Chief, effective November 1, 1963. Sixteen applications for the Police Chief position were screened and five inter- views conducted. I have carefully considered all factors pertinent to selection of a new Chief, and it is my conclusion that to properly carry out my responsibility to the Mayor and City Council, the Police Department, and the Citizens of Fort Collins, I must appoint the best qualified professionala pplicant. It is with the above in mind that I announce the appointment of Mr. Roy E. Holladay, Assistant Professor of Police Administration, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, as Police Chief, effective November:], 1963. It is my sindere opinion that Mr. Holladay is highly qualified for the position and, extended the friendship and cooperation typical of Fort Collins and the Rocky Mountain area, will do an excellent job. A resume of his personal history and qualifications follow. Name: Roy E. Holladay Address: 726 E. Columbia, Mason, Michigan Age: 36 years - Birthdate, Dec. 31, 1926 Height: 6 ft. - weight, 185 lbs.

The following letter was presented by the City Manager: October 3, 1963 Honorable Mayor and City Council City Hall Fort Collins, Colorado ientlemen: One of the most important aspects of good Municipal Administration is a comprehen- sive personnel program, including a merit system, structured toward developing a creeer service so that we might achieve high standards of performance of municipal services. In the past month, study and review of the personnel policies has indicated severe areas which might be improved. It is my hope to undertake an extensive study and review of all personnel policies and submit recommendations to the City Council prior to January 1, 1964. 169 An integral part of a good personnel program in municipal service is in my opinion a good classification and pay plan. Past experience has indicated that this is an area in which City Councils have most effectively availed themselves of the services of a specia- list in the field to objectively develop a basic classification and pay plan for the City, that once adopted can and should be readily administered and maintained and maintained in the future. With the above in mind, a proposal of Public Admini-stration Service, Chicago, I].1. is submitted for your consideration. The firm is one th@t- specializes-in--the<fiel4 whose-,: services I am personally acquainted with, through past experience. Funds are available in the present budget to proceed with the study and I strongly recommend that the City Council accept the proposal. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Robert F. Boos City Manager The following communication was presented and read at length: PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION SERVICE Mr. Robert F.

We estimate the maximum cost of the program outlined above at not to exceed $3,500 and agree to complete it within that amount assuming that not over 200 positions are includ- ed in the study. Should the number of positions exceed 200, the foregoing estimate should be increased by y$8 for each additional position. We agree to furnish each month invoices setting forth the number of staff days devoted to the project, the per diem rates applicable to each staff member, actual transportation and other direct project expenses incurred, and the total amount due in connection with services rendered each month. Our cost estimate assumes. that the City would: 1. Arrange for employees and supervisors to complete position descriptions on questionnaire forms which, with appropriate instructions,w ill b e furnished by us. 2. Provide necessary local office space, facilities, supplies, and equipment for our staff and assign such stenographic and clerical assistance as may be necessary to the expeditious and economical conduct of the project. 3. Arrange for full cooperation by local officials and employees, including, including access to records andother information needed to carry out the work set forth above, and prompt decisions on matters affecting work progress. 4- Pay Public Administration Service within thirty days after submission of monthly statements referred to above, amounts due for services rendered. A letter of acceptance from you or other appropriate official will constitute the only contract required for our purposes.
